is used as it applies to the winter games in this case, whether it be because of edward snowden, the nsa leaker finding asylum there, or whether it be because of the anti-gay laws. the olympic games are supposed to be nonpolitical. it's one of the greatest peace events for the world to embrace. does it bother you that that word "boycott" is just so casually used when there is a conflict or when there is an issue that people, you know, say maybe american athletes shouldn't go to these olympic games. >> well, you know, boycott, you know, i'm totally in support of boycotting, you know, russian vodka or commerce and business. but when it comes to the olympics, the olympics are supposed to be a pure athletic event where we all come together and see where we stand. i mean, once you reach a certain level of competition like the olympic competition, world championships, we all know who the top athletes are. so then it's whoever puts it together on that day. all of these things are going on around it. we can't turn a blind eye to it, either. so it's really -- it's a very difficult situation. >> o
